Yours truly walks oddly and whines (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mewls

'whines' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'yours truly walks oddly' is the wordplay.
'yours truly' becomes 'me' (the person that set this crossword).
'oddly' means one should take alternating letters (letters in the odd-numbered positions are used).
The alternating letters of 'walks' are 'wls'.
'me'+'wls'='MEWLS'

'and' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
